Comment on US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam
Neon@lemmy.world 1 week agoAny support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.
yeah, I’m sorry, but I disagree. That’s a conspiracy like Q-Anon, meant to make you feel like you’re something special, a “Truth-seeker” in a world of “global conspiracies”. This game was removed for valid reasons because it is an omage to terrorism and glorifies and validates that terrorism.
I recall from the interview when the UK blocked it the creator said “you do nothing in it you don’t do it Black Ops. But only mine is terrorism, it’s purely political.” (paraphrased)
I’ll confess that I’ve not played either of them, so I don’t know how true that holds. But I do know that a lot of those console shooters are very political and the world seems fine with it when it’s a US avatar shooting up Arabs.

Oh no an action shooter where the brown people are the heros? Stop the god damn presses.
